Amidst the absolute chaos of a Witkoff-stamped Russian psyop-as-peace plan, discussion is filled with anger at Washington and at Moscow.

Really, our biggest weakness in Europe is Energy. We do not have the Hydrocarbons to supply ourselves. It's a dilemma we share with China. And even though we switched to buying American and Qatari gas, long term a switch to renewables is the only solution.

Thank you for pointing this out. Most modern "nationalist" movements are far more internationalist than the actual internationalists. European Social Democrats can only dream of the levels inter-European cooperation that the far-right is engaged in.
Most "nationalist" parties in europe have ties to russia and China. Makes sense that our adversaries would sponsor parties that destabilise and weaken us.

It wasn’t frustration — it was the same misogynistic cruelty he’s shown for decades. From Epstein to Access Hollywood to 20+ assault claims, the pattern is unmistakable. And MTG may not have found politics’ Jesus. She maybe trying to be the future messiah to MAGA.

Reasonable people can disagree on whether this plan is an tolerable starting point. However, going to such lengths to portray the Russian demands as reasonable, especially by approvingly citing JD Vance’s diatribe, feels like a significant misjudgment.

This is sick. The EU must stop lying. Stop appeasing Trump. The only "continued US efforts" are to coerce Ukraine to capitulate to Russia. The 28 point CAPITULATION plan was drafted in the Kremlin. It is not a basis for a just and lasting peace. The EU must REJECT this plan.

If we set aside the Trump admin’s traitorous incompetence, the 28-point plan, and the fact the US now knows Ukraine deserves better, it’s clear Ukraine will get a far better deal than Istanbul 2022, contrary to the rhetoric of those pushing the lie that it should have signed then

The foreign policy response to Russia becoming a Chinese puppet state, isn't to prop up Russia's status as a superpower by sacrificing its neighbours on the altar of Russian delusions. Instead, one should acknowledge the reality of Russian decline, and build new bridges.
